About

As a state-of-the-art dental clinic and implant centre, we aim to give patients an unparalleled experience for private dental treatments.

Creating Remarkable Smiles and Premium Patient Experiences Since 2007

City Quay provides high-end treatments, including cosmetic procedures and dental implants for patients in the Dundee area. City Quay began as a single surgery practice in 2007, and since that time, our patient list and demand for our exceptional services have increased tremendously.

What began as a quaint family practice by the beautiful waterfront has become a world-class eight-surgery practice with over 15,000 patients. Even though the practice has grown exponentially, we still treat every patient — from children to seniors — with our signature level of care and compassion.

With a reputation for superior service and quality, we help brighten your smile, enhance your confidence, and improve your oral health. We proudly provide a personal touch and ongoing support for our esteemed patients.

From Check-ups to Complex Dental Requirements, We Do It All

Our dental team started with Dr Sam Elassar, a cosmetic dentist in the Dundee area who has become a vocational trainer, global lecturer, and leading implantologist. We have grown, adding an incredible team of associate dentists with a full spectrum of special interests.

The diverse skill set of our dentists enables us to refer in-house, allowing you to receive the treatments you need without spending time on a waiting list for a practitioner at another practice. We hire the best dental talent to provide you with an unmatched patient experience and seamless care.

A Full Suite of Private Dental Treatments

As leaders in preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry in the Dundee area, we provide private treatments such as:

Our Specialty: Dental Implants

As the leading provider of dental implants in Dundee, we have a dedicated clinic area known as our implant suite. This private space enhances the patient experience and brings you additional comfort during your implant procedure.

Personalised Treatment Options

One thing patients notice about our clinic is the custom-tailored information we provide. We take the time to explain all treatment options and why we recommend them. We do this to help you feel confident about your treatment choice and that you are making the right decision. Every patient is different, and we get to know your preferences to deliver premium-quality dental treatments safely and efficiently.
